Officials attempt to control the spread of an exotic wildflower species by introducing its natural predator, a beetle. Unexpecte

dly, the beetle population grows exponentially and begins to eat local crops. What best accounts for this unexpected population explosion?
a.Adaptive radiation allowed the beetle population to evolve faster.

b.The beetle population has few predators in the new habitat.

c.The wildflower and local crops are genetically similar kinds of plants.

d.The beetle has different nutritional requirements in the new habitat.

Answer:

b. The beetle population has few predators in the new habitat.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the best explanation for this is that there are few or no predators to kill them off. This is due to the fact that a predator to a certain species kills off a certain portion of the population for food which in term maintains the population of the preyed upon species at an average level, and thus prevents them from exponentially growing out of control like what is happening with the beetles.

Describe why the amount of light available to the Chlorella culture might affect the growth dynamics of the alga.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The amount of light available to Chlorella culture might affect the growth dynamics of the alga <u>because the light is an important factor necessary for the synthesis of carbohydrates and other important molecules in the body of the organism.</u>

The process of synthesizing carbohydrates is termed photosynthesis and during this process, the energy of light is used to excite the photosystem of the chlorophyll of the organism, leading to the release of electrons whose energy is used to synthesize an energy molecule that is utilized in the latter part of the photosynthetic process. The entire process of photosynthesis can be summarised as an equation below:

            6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

<em>The manufactured carbohydrates act as food for the organism and are broken down during respiration to release energy necessary to drive metabolic processes that bring about growth and development.</em>

Hence, the amount of light is an important factor that might affect the growth dynamics of all green plants, including the Chlorella.

Which process will be immediately inhibited if cytochrome c is unable to interact with cytochrome c oxidase
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately,  respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.

How is the cell structure related to its function in your body
Nastasia [14]

<span>A cell with a large surface area or with microvilli (which increase surface area) are specialized for absorption. Many cells have different protein markers on their surface to accept certain specific hormones and allow them into the cell, like muscle cells reacting to adrenaline. Muscle cells are long and able to contract, allowing for overall muscle contraction and body movement. </span>

<span>I guess the hormone part I mentioned applies to chemicals; endocrine cells produce hormones that other cells would not. </span>

<span>For organelles, muscle cells don't have many of the organelles that other cells do because of their very specialized functions. </span>

<span>I hope this helps, it would literally take volumes of text books to answer this question completely.</span>
